Does apple recommend a screen protector

I was wondering if there is any recommendation for a screen protector, and is it a worthwhile investment?

Screen protectors are invaluable.  If you spend as much money as you spend on your apple devices should you invest a little bit more to ensure they stay scratch/scuff/damage-free for the life of product?
Screen protectors may be hard to learn how to put on but once you discover all the tricks and develop a steady hand you can easily apply one in a few minutes and it will completely blend in.  Depending how rough you are with your devices will go hand in hand with how long a screen protector will last.
Lastly, you can get matte, or anti-fingerprint screen protectors that actually take the edge off fingerprints.  I never will use an iPhone/iPod/iPad without one.

  • Does apple recommend a screen protector for the iPad 4?

    Does Apple recommend a screen protector for the iPad with a retina screen?

    Apple's recommendations are usually hardware and software related. How to charge the battery, the benefits of backing up, transferring purchases, and things like that.
    I have never seen Apple officially recommend any third party accessory and I doubt that they ever will do so. Using a screen protector is up to the individual. I have always used a screen protector of some type on all of my iDevices. I have somewhat oily skin and I would rather trash and have to clean a screen protector than have to keep up with cleaning the glass.
    I have an iPad 3 and I have it encased in an OtterBox Defender case with a built in screen protector. My iPad 3 is in pristine condition - screen and back. My OtterBox Defender has taken quite a beating however, and I prefer that the case take the abuse and not the iPad!

  • Does Apple recommend we add a protective screen

    Does Apple recommend we add a screen protector to the face of our iPads?

    I've had my original iPad for about a year and a half now.  I've always kept it in a case, but have never had a screen protector on it.  It doesn't have a single scratch after all this time.  But if I wasn't keeing it in a case, I might be tempted to put one on.
    Those smart covers are pretty nice.  And more and more cases are coming out for the new iPad on places like Amazon. 

  • Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

    Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
    This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

    Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
    Regards.

    does Apple recommend the Java 7.25 update?  I have mountain lion

    You should install the latest Java release from Apple or Oracle to assure you have the most recent exploit holes patched. And, you should also install the current Security Updates to cover other malware protection.
    Apple Java 2013-004
    Apple Security Update 2013-003
    Please change your profile information to reflect you are running Mountain Lion now instead of Lion.

  • What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
    What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
    http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
    Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
    The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
    The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
    If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
    So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

  • Does ipad mini need screen protector

    Does the ipad mini need a screen protector

    It doesn't need one, it's down to personal preference - some people don't like using them on any iPad due to how they affect the touch/texture of the screen, personally I use one on my 3rd gen iPad as it gives the screen a bit of extra protection (and I prefer its texture over just the glass)

  • Recommendations for Screen Protectors for the Vision

    I'm in the process of buying another one, but the first two I received from one retailer had horrifically scratched screens.
    So I want a screen protector. Any recommendations? I've been to the boxwave site and the invisishield site.
    I don't think Creative's screen protectors are available currently.

    for a total of 7 bucks including shipping you can get something called the best skin ever its the same material that invisble shield uses for a cheaper price. and its only 5$ plus 2 dollar shipping.

  • Does apple fix cracked screen

    I have an ipod Touch and the screen is cracked does Apple repair screens and if so how much ?

    Apple at this time does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". It is also possible to purchase parts and find instructions on doing a repair yourself, though it's not particularly easy. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform a repair yourself, all further support from Apple will be void.
    Regards.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • HT3302 does apple fix cracked screens under warranty?

  • I am purchasing RAM from another store.  Who does apple recommend to install it.  I live in Denver, CO.

    I will be purchasing RAM from a different retailer  for my MacBook Pro.  Who does the apple store recommend.  I live in Denver, CO.

    Any local PC or Mac service can install it, a good local geek, you can do it yourself if you wanted too.
    Only if it's the MacBook Pro Retina nobody can, it's sealed up.
    You will need to make sure you got the correct RAM specs, so visit Crucial.com and use their system to make sure. (cheap RAM is bad for Mac's and wastes your time opening it up again to replace, so spend the money up front)
    Next you will need tools and watch a video, it's really easy.

    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
    Tips, don't touch any contacts, discharge body static and place each screw into a egg crate or plastic compartment so each screw goes back exactly into it's respective hole.
    Your warranty/AppleCare will not cover the new RAM, or anything broken inside replacing it, so beware and be careful. To have that coverage you need to have Apple replace the RAM at a huge markup of course.
    note: no compensation for site or product mention, used to illustrate only, not a product or service recomendation. choose who and where you want to buy.

  • What app does Apple recommend for creating pocasts?

    I need to be able to add the EXPLICIT tag too.
    Now that Garageband doesn't support podcasting, what Apple program does?

    Apple doesn't recommend anything. GarageBand can make mp3 files for you but I understand it no longer handles 'enhanced' M4a podcasts with chapters - in any case it used to hand over to the now unsupported iWeb to make the actual podcast feed.
    There are a number of programs and services you can use - WordPress is powerful and flexible but is complex and get more people into problems than anything else in these forums. Bogger, Podbean and SquareSpace are easier; Libsyn is well supported but does have a running cost. Some website creation programs such as RapidWeaver can make a podcast feed for you. I can't recommend anything myself - when I was running my podcast I used Podcast Maker but it's not been updated for ages and Iget you understand it doesn't play well with Mountain Lion and up.
    You may find my 'get you started' page on podcasting helpful:

  • Does Apple Fix Cracked Screens or just give you a replacement?

    Basically I dropped my iPhone 4 from a few floors. The back and front are all smashed. When I connect it to the computer iTunes seems to recognise it but I can't see anything because LCD is damaged.
    I heard Apple can repair this but do they actually repair these parts or do they give you credit on a new phone. I don't mind paying. But in the condition that this phone is in, I rather get a replacement instead of a repair.

    No, accidental damage is not covered by the warranty
